Oscar-nominated animator Tomek Baginski on making animation organic with AI tools

BAFTA and Oscar-nominated animator Tomek Baginski wrote a long post experimenting with AI animation tools (Astra, SeeDance), arguing traditional CG animation tooling is absurdly overcomplicated and used as a gatekeeping barrier. AI finally lets him animate "in a more organic and contextual way," expressing scene dynamics and character motion intent directly. Amplifier TomLikesRobots notes he isn't taking shortcuts but maintaining intent and exploring output control.
